April 3, 2012 - In their regularly scheduled meeting this week, the five NH Executive Councilors were unanimous in their commitment to become more informed before taking up the issue of the state's three proposed contracts for
Medicaid Managed Care totaling $2.2 billion, see the NHPR story. In response to those concerns, the Council has scheduled a public meeting for April 13 to hear more from the NH Department of Health and Human Services and representatives of the three potential managed care companies. Some of the Councilors also expressed commitment to scheduling open forums in their own districts to hear provider and recipient concerns in the meantime.
